To Young Mothers.

" Charity," in the Maine Farmer, has
the following to say to young mothers:
" While you are burdened with the care
and work of large family of little ones
be patient, be kind, and try hard to feel
all this as little burden as possible. l
have known all your cares by like eX-
perience, and know just how to pity
young mothers in their sleepless nights
and long, weary days, and am sorry to
admit that, like many of you, have
felt it great burden. But l am now
burdened with sorrow, for l have seen
all my little ones-dearer to mothers
heart than her own life-sicken and
die until / have only one left, and
now feel that the loneliness of my heart
and home is far greater. The aching
void in a mothers heart, the loss of
their company and disappointed hopes
wear upon me far more than all the
care and trouble to administer to all
their wants. Young, weary mothers,
struggle hard to feel it as little burden
as possible, and make their little lives
sunny, praying for strength to help
you, for through faith we shall con-
uuer'n

He Does Not Like Florida.

A correspondent of the NeD England
Farmer writes that paper concerning
Florida in pretty plain and forcible
English. He says: 81 have been sick
with malarial fever and chills and leave
here tonight. The lying that is done
to get people to come here is enough to
sink the state. Men who are taking
quinine, blue mass, calomel, ETC., will
tell you how much better it is here than
up North. But all the same they are
liars. They tell about the well-water
here being as good as New England
water. It's lie. Drink it and chills
and fever follow as sure as death. l
know to my cost" After all Vermont
is pretty good place, all things con-
sidered. We are tolerably certain to
have good air, good water, good So
ciety-and, with anything like fair in
dustry, good shelter and three square
meals day.

Set the Standard High.

A prairie farmer" after having
visited his native state of Vermont,
thus writes of what he found to the
Iouo Homestead ''We are, as farmers,
far wide from the standard of first-class.
In July, 1888, visited the old home
stead in Vermont. | had been absent
over score of years and was told that
Vermont farms and farmers were de-
teriorating. Their crops were small,
and what they did raise was at large
expense Of fertilizers. l went pre-
pared with delight to tell them of the
rich and fertile lands and farms of
Iowa. But after few days with my
brother, travelling over the large farm
of my first days and seeing the growing
crops, the hill pastures and the many
fields, and learning the average of hay,
eleven and one-half tons; oats, seventy
five bushels; wheat (when l left they
couldn't grow iD, thirty-tive and
forty bushels; potatoes, three hundred
bushels, and corn, sixty bushels, shelled,
/ was silent about Iowa. / knew we
were not there" but do know with
the natural fertility of our soil we ought
to and can produce double the quantity
to the acre, and we ought not to be
numbered A farmers till we get there.
Let the manure be driven forth and
spread on the corn-helds in winter;
let clover be the main fertilizer and
we shall soon get there. Grand crops
to be invariably utilized on the farm
will grow like first-class stock. Set the
standard high and reach it at the
earliest day possible"

Beet-Greens.

In reply to &C. l.. F." / will say
There is one way (and only one, to
my mindD to avoid crop of wormy
beet-greens. If the sisters were not so
eager to Guido their neighbors in early
varieties of vegetables they would eX-
perience less trouble from wormy beet
leaves. &C. L. F." will be surprised
to learn that we had our first meal
of beet-greens this season to-day
(July 25th). We do not sow our beet
seed earlier than June 25th, thereby
securing finer quality of beets for
winter use and insuring ourselves
good greens, although little late. By
late sowing we escape the maggot, as
it has grown weary in waiting for the
tender leaves to appear and has turned
away to seek "new fields to conquer. "

Tested Recipes.

Helen Dorcas contributes the follow
ing to the Maine Farmer:
CREAM CAKE.-Beat to a froth one
cup of sugar and three eggs; on this
pour one cup of sweet cream, then stir
in one and one-half cups of flour in
which one tea-spoonful of soda and two
of cream of tartar are thoroughly mixed.
Flavor with lemon and bake in quick
oven thirty minutes.
SPONGE CAKE.-TO three eggs beaten
one minute add one and one-half cups
of sugar and beat two minutes; one cup
of flour with one tea-spoonful of cream
of tartar in it, and beat two minutes;
one-half cup of cold water with one
half tea-spoonful of soda and a little
salt in it. Stir thoroughly; then add
one cup of flour. Flavor with lemon.
WASHINGTON PIE.-Three eggs, one
cup of sugar, one cup of flour, two
spoonfuls of sweet cream, one tea
spoonful of cream of tartar and one
half tea-spoonful of soda. For filling
take the yolk of one egg, one cup of
sugar, the grated rind and juice of one
lemon, one cupful of water with two
table-spoonfuls of corn-starch dissolved
in it and one tablespoonful of melted
butter; cook in dish set over boiling
water until thick. Use the white of
the egg for frosting the top of the pie.

The use of oily and fatty foods in Arctic
regions is explained by the great poten-
tial energy of fat, pound Of which is
equal to over two pounds of protein or
starch. have been greatly surprised
to see, on looking into the matter, how
commonly and largely the fatter kinds
of meat are used by men engaged in
very hard labor. Men in training for
athletic contests, as oarsmen and foot
ball teams, eat large quantities of meat.
/ have often queried why so much fat
beef is used, and especially why NUT
ton is often recommended in prefer
ence to beef for training diet. Both
the beef and the mutton are rich in
protein, which makes muscle. Mutton
has the advantage of containing more
fat along with the protein, and hence
more potential energy. Perhaps this
is another case in which experience has
led to practice, the real grounds for
which have later been explained by
scientific research. "a mericon Cult

A Hardy Plum.

A writer in the Homestead, speaking
of Mooer's Arctic says: " | received
four trees in 1884. The next year after
setting they would have borne full
crop, but l picked all but six or eight
specimens from each tree. Last year
they were again loaded with fruit but
were thinned to few quarts. A gen.
tleman who is as good judge of fruit
as we have in New Hampshire saw this
fruit when at its best last year and pro-
nounced it of average quality and would
recommend it to all planters who want
a hardy fruit. Its color is what the
market wants, for color will always
help sell the plum. The Genii is another
new plum which promises perhaps bet
ter than any other. In my orchard it
leads all other varieties. 1t is an early
and abundant bearer. Its fruit is of
good size and color, is very snowy and
is of good quality either for eating or
cooking. I would advise all fruit
growers to have this on their list"

Food for Reflection.

Here are couple of paragraphs from
the Maine Farmer which, brought to-
gether, furnish interesting reading for
the thinking man:
PERSONS who are not self-sustaining, Mr..
Powderly says, should be excluded from
this country, for the reason that they will
either have to be sustained as paupers or,
by forcing residents of the country out of
employment, are likely to make paupers or
dependents of the latter. Without doubt
these claims of the industrial classes will be
pressed in the near future, hence they de-
serve the attention of thinking classes.
A LARGE quantity of grass was left cut in
the fields, while a still larger amount is
standing. The value of this is seriously
reduced and the farmers are the losers. 1t
has been found almost impossible to procure
help at any price, and the good weather
passed without the fields being cleared.
Restrict immigration because it might
lower the wages of the laboring man
while the crops perish from lack of
help to secure them? What is true in
Maine is also true in Vermont Crops
have not been harvested in season from
lack of help.

from experience. l once purchased
some Snow-hakes at one dollar per
pound and treated them in the manner
described above. Those on top, where
they were exposed to the air, grew
nicely, while those at the bottom be-
came hot and moldy and did not grow
at all. A difference in time of planting
of twenty-four hours Git might have
been thirty may have been the cause
of the " mischief" When dough set
to rise becomes ready for the oven how
many moments does it take to spoil the
bread? The same is perhaps true of
potatoes. When winter left us MAY
1sD the soil was soaked with water, and
as very hot (moldy) weather immedi-
ately followed large bins of potatoes

Government Seeds.

The Maine Farmer of the last of July
has the following: 1.-THE Agricultural
Department at Washington has for
warded us quantity of turnip-seed in
packages. 1t is of two varieties-the
Milan Strap Leaf and the Purple Strap
Leaf. If any of our farmer readers
who wish to plant these varieties will
call at the Farmer office we shall be
glad to supply them" About the mid
die of July General Grout, our repre-
sentative in congress, asked us what he
could do with lot of turnip-seed which
he had just received, and we recon-
mended him to burn it-as, so far as
our experience has gone, it would likely
be worthless, and at any rate came too
late for distribution for the present
season. The fact is the seed business
of the Department of Agriculture, as
at present conducted, is comparatively
worthless. 1t costs more than it comes
to. Wipe it out. The seedsmen of the
country can furnish good seeds and in
season to be of use.

Early and Late-Cut Hay.

A recent gathering of New York farmers
developed a few facts concerning hay and
grass. Most of them were disposed to cut
hay when in full bloom. In cutting clover
they endeavored to cut the first day, wind
row the second and get in the third. Tim
othy, it is generally conceded, should be
cut before the second blow. Grass loses in
quality every day after the time has passed
for cutting. BY cutting grass early the
next growth will start better. By cutting
grass late meadows are often badly injured.
A majority of farmers cut too closely. Lit
tie is gained by cutting wet grass. Grass
may be put into the barn quite green If it
has not been wet. Timothy hay is best for
feeding as soon as it is out of bloom.
The best time to cut clover is when in
bloom and few heads are beginning to
turn. Never cut clover when the dew is
on. Some of the best farmers never let hay
lie two or three days in the cock, for the sun
and dew injure hay almost as much as
rain-storm Always cock hay as soon as
possible.
All of which we believe to be true,
and yet on August 10th there is consid-
cradle grass in the state which is not
cut-some because the farmer waited
too long before he commenced having,
waiting till the first piece was fully
ready to cut before he began, thought
less or regardless of the fact that a
good deal of his crop would be long
past its prime before he could get to it,
or from inability to procure help to Sc
cure the crop in due season. The other
day we were talking with neighbour
one who has reputation in market for
making good butter-of early and late
cut hay. He said: "It is impossible
to make first-class butter or as much
of it when you feed late-cut hay, no
matter what you put with it. Late-cut
hay with meal, bran and shorts will
make growth in an animal, but it
won't make good butter" And he
was about right

On the Decline.

The outlook for heavy cattle-growing
is not reassuring. Mr.. Moreton Frewen,
an Englishman who for several years
past has seen much of the ranges,
especially in Wyoming, asserts that
overstocking has been carried so far as
to greatly impair the capacity of the
territories to afford sustenance to cattle.
The vast herds have trampled out the
grass within practicable distances of
the water-courses, and there is no
possibility of restoring the capacity of
the ranges under the existing system
of cattle-raising. He says that cold
and drouth are not new things at all
and cannot account for the depression
in recent years. In his opinion the
days of the great cattle barons " are
numbered. They must give way to
ten or hundred times their number
of men owning comparatively small
herds, for which they can provide
shelter in winter and supply of food.

Fashions Folly.

The tendency of dresses-of every
thing in these days-is to senseless
multiplication. Materials are bought
because they are pretty, like photo
graph frames, bits of china, fancy bas-
kets, boxes and covers, until closets
groan and rooms are so burdened with
inanimate objects that every bit of free
air and vital influence is excluded from
them. This growing and eternally-fed
desire, this tendency toward accumula-
ton demands constantly increasing
expenditure and feeds the raging thirst
for money. Money is considered the
greatest good. Money is the god that
all worship. The names of two or
three great money kings have become
a stock-in-trade with newspaper para
graphists, who know that whatever is
said about them, true or false, will be
eagerly swallowed by the public.
Women, conscientious women, need to
hold strong check upon themselves
that they may not be led away by the
vulgar, popular current. Above all, it
is time for them to consider their cloth
ing from some other point of view than
that of " fashion. Jennie June.

Wheat for Export.

An exchange remarks: "We know
of no country on earth that has ever
been prosperous in raising wheat for
export. The profit to the producer is
very moderate under the best condi-
tons, and when American wheat
growers must compete with the pauper
labor of India and the underpaid farm
ers of Europe it is well for them to
diversity their crops, and not to stake
their whole on crop of wheat"
Yet we are gravely informed by the
Rural Vermonter that the price of food
products in the East is fixed by the cost
of production in, and of transporta-
ton from, the West. Great head, that

Pickles.

Here are three recipes for pickles,
writes Fanny Field in an exchange,
that | have tried and found excellent:
WATERMELON RINDs.-Cut the firm,
white part of the rind into pieces of
any size and shape that suits your
fancy. To every quart of vinegar add
one pound of sugar; season to taste
with cloves and cinnamon; heat scald-
ing hot; put in the watermelon rinds
and cook them until they are tender
enough to be pierced with straw and
each piece looks clear. Put in jar,
set in a cool place and in two or three
days they will be ready for use. All
not wanted for immediate use may be
canned the same as any fruit. Better
put up few cans, for if all be kept in
a jar you will find the bottom too soon;
that is, if you like this pickle as well
as we do.
RIPE CUCUMBERS.-Pare ripe Gu
cumbers, cut lengthwise into four or six
pieces: sprinkle salt over them, let them
stand over might and then lay the pieces
out on cloths to drain. To every quart
of vinegar add one pound of brown
sugar; heat scalding hot and while that
is heating pack the cucumbers in jar.
putting in few whole cloves, some
horse-radish root, cinnamon bark, mace
and little pepper. This is not very
definite in regard to spices, but no
exact rule can be given, for the reason
that spices vary so much in strength
and tastes differ in regard to seasoning.
Some like a little more of this and a
little less of that, but l take it for
granted that you have common sense
and will season to suit your own house,
hold. Pour the hot vinegar over the
pickles and cover closely.
MANGoEs.-Take small green musk
melons, wee little bits of cucumbers,
tomatoes and onions, little green pep
pers, green beans and nasturtion pods
and soak for two days in brine. Then
drain, cut small piece out of one side
of the melon, remove the seeds and
stuff in the small fry; put few whole
cloves, bits of cinnamon bark, allspice
berries and little mustard seed into
each mango; put back the piece cut
out and fasten in place with needle and
thread; pack in jar with few pieces
of bruised horse-radish root. Put a
coffee-cup of sugar to every two quarts
of vinegar, heat scalding hot and pour
over the mangoes. Let stand three
days; then pour the vinegar off, heat
it and return it to the pickles. In
three days heat the vinegar again.
Put plate and weight on the pickles
to keep them under the vinegar, and if
good vinegar be used and the jar kept
in cool place these mangoes will keep
forever almost-only they will be so
good you will eat them up before the
time comes for picking again.
